In the evening we ate scrummy roast beef after which I practised more crochet, it's looking much neater, just need to try my first project, my mum is over on friday night so I am hoping to attempt something with her help.
I've had a couple of moments this week where I have felt overwhelmed by the stupidest of things, like - to much house work, ironing, gardening, work, children drop off's and collect etc etc (you get my drift) and while I was cooking dinner I was listening to Radio 2, as I always do, and they had this guy on talking about meditation, well I looked up his website (www.getsomeheadspace.com) i'm trying out his programme and only a few days in I already feel like I can relax and breathe through those moments when I feel I'm loosing control, even if it's just physiological I don't care, whatever works I say.
I need to keep this short as I'm desperate to keep practising my crochet. Below are a few photo's of my family for you to see.
Sorry if the photo's are a bit blurred and I also haven't worked out how to add a caption under the photos, it'll do for now. Right, off to crochet I go...

Hooray! Another post from Bee!!! Love the photos of the little ones, I remember when Big Boy was born (me, KMMM and Cuckoo were on that crazy weekend in Cornwall when your news came through.)
ReplyDeleteAnd look at your beautiful little girl. You are blessed and they look like they get on well together.
Lush that Darr cooked a Red Thai curry. One of Matt's best dishes is his Green Thai curry which he hasn't done in a while, must remind him!
So glad you are on Blogger now.
And if it makes you feel any better, I think we ALL get overwhelmed. I know I do.
Some days it's all too much, other days I feel I can take on the world.
I don't iron, it's something I have no time AT ALL to do so well done you. I do however do all my own washing and house cleaning and we don't have a dishwasher and I have no help with the kids (no family around) so I feel I get very little time. My "me" time in a little blog entry each day.
Am about to try to add photos for the final time and settle down to write a news story (have this new writing job now!)Take care beauty
Must check out that website. And, relaaaaaaaax!

Naughty blogger didn't tell me you'd written a post!!! Nor has it updated my sidebar to say you have, Bloody blogger!! Although I had better check it's not a cock up on my part!!!
ReplyDeleteYou lucky duck having supper cooked for you, I cannot remember the last time Mr C cooked. It was probably dippy eggs when I was ill with mastitis after Little was born. He does get the boys breakfast most days which is often scrambled eggs, shouldn't moan, and we have a weekly takeaway which is just as good as the kitchen stays clean. Just read that back...God I'm a spoilt bugger....
Remember when Darr cycled all the way from yours to ours? You thought you'd over take him but he was here 20 minutes before you. He is a machine (in my head I'm doing "A MARINE" from Grease. Which in turn has reminded me of our Exeter weekend which leads me on to telling you I have booked out The Seaside House for our weekend. Hurrah!!!!!

ReplyDeleteI just want to a big hello and welcome to Blogland ;-)) I have popped over from your lovely friend "tales from Cuckoo land" . It is a lovely community and full of lovely caring inspiring ladies. I will pop back again soon. take care and enjoy the rest of your week. Radio 2 is never off in my house it is the best ;-)) dee x
ReplyDeleteI always have radio 4 on and now feel old!
ReplyDeletefeel overwhelmed most days - but then I'm a bit of a schizo so it might only last half an hour - then back to chipper and loving life! (keeps OH on his toes!)

yes there are days when everything just feels like its caving in on you , will check out that website and cant beat a bit of radio 2 i used to always listen to chris evans drive time now i hop depends what music mood im in kiss,radio 2 or 6 and 4 for womens hour which annoys me sometimes ,perhaps i better check that website out for that ,glad crochet is going well mine is now a square and can do corners yay x
ReplyDeleteI love listening to the radio when I'm in the kitchen but five live is my fave. I was baking cakes one rainy Friday lunchtime a couple of weeks ago and they had the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra playing movie music. I felt very chilled and grown up!
ReplyDeleteI will have a look at that website. I have a busy mind, too, and worry about the most ridiculous of things. I always feel as though everyone except me is in control of their lives (sometimes blogger doesn't help because everyone is so amazingly talented, with tidy houses and blah blah blah!).
What crochet project are you going to start? I can def recommend granny squares for a blanket (or cushion) to get you into the swing of it. Looks like you have a natural talent if your first attempt in the previous post is anything to go by!
Anyway, sorry for waffling on. I can't write short comments. Nice to meet you, pop over to my blog sometime - www.the-home-bird.blogspot.com if you get a free minute. I love your friend Cuckoo's blog and that's how I found you.
